Modelling Craters

July 2005·p. 138

THE SHORT VERSION

Small rings of mixed Green Stuff are pressed onto the base and blended into natural raised rims with a sculpting tool. Once cured, a black undercoat unifies the surface before successive Bestial Brown, Snakebite Leather and Bleached Bone drybrushes reveal the texture. The miniature craters demonstrate how modelling putty normally used for gaps or sculpted details can establish a distinctive ground surface for an entire unit.

Jungle Terrain

Adi Wood contrasts the open killing ground of a conventional pitched battle with a Lustrian board whose vegetation controls movement and visibility. Four terrain classes are represented by increasing the density of foliage, trees and plastic plants, making their different game effects visible. The guide also shows how existing woods and hills can be moved into the middle of a table to create channels and ambush opportunities, and recommends covering roughly one third to one half of the board.

Into the Jungle

The same basic materials build four distinct grades of jungle. Undergrowth uses low foliage with room for bases, light jungle leaves paths through plants, dense jungle uses closely set bamboo trunks with gaps for individual models, and impenetrable jungle packs the vegetation into a continuous barrier. Six- to eight-inch undergrowth bases offer flexible placement. The instructions emphasize matching visible density to the terrain category players will use during a game.

Modelling King Byrrnoth Grundadrakk

Nick Kyme converts King Alrik into a seafaring monarch by replacing the helmet with Thorgrim’s and building an axe from a Dwarf Lord weapon and Ungrim Ironfist’s dragon motif. A Skaven cloak, Kazador’s horn and Alrik’s book add equipment and silhouette changes, while a Barak Varr shield identifies the hold. The conversion aims to retain royal bearing while making Byrrnoth distinct from the donor character.
